Former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer apologized on Facebook for comments he made about House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Senate Intelligence Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein in an interview with National Journal published late Wednesday.

“I recently made a number of stupid and insensitive remarks to a reporter from the National Journal. I am deeply sorry and sincerely apologize for my carelessness and disregard,” the Democrat posted to his Facebook page Thursday afternoon.

In the interview, Schweitzer said Southern men — including Cantor —“are a little effeminate.”

“They just have effeminate mannerisms,” Schweitzer said. “If you were just a regular person, you turned on the TV, and you saw Eric Cantor talking, I would say — and I’m fine with gay people, that’s all right — but my gaydar is 60-70 percent. But he’s not, I think, so I don’t know. Again, I couldn’t care less. I’m accepting.”

The former governor also graphically criticized Feinstein for her ties to the Central Intelligence Agency, before slamming the agency.

“She was the woman who was standing under the streetlight with her dress pulled all the way up over her knees, and now she says, ‘I’m a nun,’ when it comes to this spying!” Schweitzer said in the profile.
